DUBSTAR'S PROJECT - Weiss Hase - 1976 Golf LS

Mind doing my interior for me too? Looks beautiful!

Its been a crazy few months with multiple trips for work, but I finally got to do a little bit of work on Andy. This is in preparation to finally getting my nice shiny new engine into its new home.

I am using a Carter fuel pump for the DHLAs and I wanted to wire it up using an OEM Mk1 GTI fuel pump relay to give me the safety cut off feature. I used an OEM relay plate and then ran the wiring in OEM plastic sleeving.

It works and came out looking quite OEM (except the actual pump), which is good









Next step is to remove the old lump (anyone have an engine crane I can borrow for a weekend?)......

Nice setup.

mate that looks awesome. where did you find the factory relay plate? I need to do the same for mine.

[dubstar]

The relay plate is part number 135937501A. I tried unsuccessfully through the various VW channels, eventually I dropped into Porsch-a-part, which is just around the corner and they gave me 2 for $20! They came on 924s

If you need one, I can drop by and see if they have anymore.

Looks good, you can use position L on the relay plate to run the fuel pump relay instead of mounting it external to the block. only issue is once the pump load exceeds 16 Amps then it cooks pin A8 .

I thought about that but the connector on the back was empty in the spot for the fuel pump lead and I couldn't find the correct pin at jaycar to add the lead....better to have fresh wiring anyway

mate definitely keen for one as I have to wire up a set of 044 pumps shortly

Have literally hundreds of new pins here, both the small and larger 4 mm ones. Lmk if you need a few spares .

Luke if your running twin pumps you are prob better off using the later series relay plate as the fuel pump relay is rated at 40 Amps not 16 Amps as are the early units.

Antons car I wired the stock 16A relay to run all the Kjet stuff and trigger a late Mk2 ( 40 Amp ) fuel pump relay soley for the pump.

The current load for the early relay plates using Kjet could not adequately be handled once the pump started drawing more than the design load, relay plate / socket A meltdown.
